TriMas (NASDAQ: TRS) reported Q2 2024 results with net sales up 3.1% to $240.5 million, driven by strong growth in Packaging (13.0%) and Aerospace (27.6%) segments.

TriMas revised its 2024 outlook, now expecting 4-6% sales growth and adjusted EPS of $1.70-$1.90, primarily due to lower-than-expected performance in the Specialty Products segment.

Barington Capital Group, owning 1.5% of TriMas (TRS), has called for the company to consider strategic alternatives to address long-term share price underperformance. Since Barington's previous letter in December 2023, TriMas has underperformed its peers and the Russell 2000 index. Barington argues that TriMas' multi-segment structure has not benefited stockholders and suggests two alternatives: selling the Aerospace segment or the entire company.

TriMas currently trades at 8.6x NTM consensus EBITDA, which Barington believes undervalues its Packaging and Aerospace segments. The aerospace sector is consolidating due to strong travel and defense demand, and some of TriMas' multi-segment industrial peers have been acquired at substantial premiums. Barington urges the TriMas Board to promptly seek value-creating alternatives to improve shareholder value.
